Benefits of technology

"The present invention is about making nutritional supplements for wildlife. The supplements help improve the animals' immune systems and make them less attractive to ticks, mosquitoes, gnats, flies, and other insects. The methods used to make the supplements make them more stable and effective."

Problems solved by technology

For example, the expansion of human development leaves a noticeable impact on the health and vitality of wild ruminant animals often as a result of decreased food supply for such animals.
Despite the numerous health-related claims made by various wildlife supplement products, there remain numerous drawbacks to currently-available formulations as well as the manufacturing methods of making the same, demonstrating a need in the art for improved compositions and manufacturing methods.

example 1

[0038]Studies analyzing the effectiveness of these approaches reveal substantial and unexpected advantages as described herein for example. It is known that calcium and phosphorus are essential components in wildlife nutritional supplements, often present in amounts ranging between 5-19.6% calcium and a minimum of 4% phosphorus in order to provide the nutritionally beneficial effects. References have shown that decreasing the concentration of these minerals promotes the intake or consumption of a supplementation product. For example, a formulation with calcium and phosphorus concentrations below 5-19.6% and 4%, respectively, results in increased total consumption by wildlife due to palatability and other desirable attributes through the addition of sodium and salt to act as an attractant for wildlife. This results in increased regular consumption and year-round usage by wildlife providing an overall greater intake of calcium and phosphorus than was previously achieved by products co...
